Purpose: In this lab‚ we will heat up a metal rod and measure how much it expands. We will calculate its Coefficient of Linear Expansion‚ α‚ and prove the formula for thermal expansion‚ ΔL = αLiΔT. Also‚ we heat up a known volume of methyl alcohol and calculate its Coefficient of Volume Expansion‚ β‚ and prove the formula for volume expansion of a liquid ΔV = βViΔT. Equipment: Hollow Metal Rods of different metals‚ Steam Generator‚ Stand‚ Burner‚ Flexible Hoses‚ Motion Amplifier‚ Micrometer
